About the adventure
🔖 50% off your first session — no experience needed “Been running since the line broke outside Kalisz—just ghosts in American uniforms now. Poland’s all smoke and winter, every road crawling with Ivans, raiders, and folks hungrier than we are. We were just trying to make it west, find a boat, find home… then we stumbled into something we weren’t supposed to see. Something that might just matter more than all of us.” EXODUS TWILIGHT BEGINS WITH SURVIVAL—AND ENDS WITH A CHOICE. In the aftermath of World War III, Europe is a graveyard. The U.S. 5th Infantry Division has been annihilated in the fields of Poland, leaving scattered survivors cut off behind Soviet lines. You are among them—hungry, cold, and hunted—pressing west through the ruins in hopes of finding passage home across a dying continent. But war has a way of keeping its grip, and fate has other plans. When your squad crosses paths with a group of civilians guarding a secret that could change everything, your mission shifts from survival to something far greater. Whispers speak of technology that could rekindle light in the darkness, a spark that might just mend the broken world—if it doesn’t destroy what’s left of it first. From frozen battlefields to burned-out cities, from desperate villages to NATO’s last ports on the Baltic, Exodus Twilight is a journey through loss, loyalty, and the faint flicker of redemption. Every bullet, every decision, and every mile west carries a price. Will you cling to duty, or to humanity? And when hope finally appears—will you recognize it for what it is? NOTE: This campaign is intended be a long term open sandbox game with the end goal of players making their way out of Europe, back to America. ⚠️ Twilight: 2000 – 4th Edition is a sandbox survival RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world where World War III never truly ended. Players take on the roles of soldiers and survivors navigating shattered Europe—scavenging, negotiating, and fighting for every scrap of food, fuel, and trust. The system blends tactical realism with emergent storytelling, where a single bad roll can change everything. In Exodus Twilight, your story isn’t about saving the world—it’s about deciding if it’s still worth saving. All experience levels welcome. Questions before you book? Send me a message — happy to talk through it.

About me
Like a lot of people, I grew up at the table — high school, college, and the years after — both as a player and a GM. Then life happened, and the dice went quiet for a while. When I found my way back in 2022, I knew exactly what kind of table I wanted to build, and I have been building it ever since. I run Free League Publishing and Year Zero Engine games almost exclusively, and for good reason: they nail what I care about most as a GM. Tension. Consequence. A world that feels real and pushes back. Whether we are surviving the ruins of Twilight: 2000, chasing the edge of the galaxy in Coriolis: The Third Horizon or The Great Dark, hunting xenomorphs in Alien, or uncovering old horrors in Vaesen, every session is built around atmosphere, player choice, and consequences that feel earned. I also run Dragonbane, Blade Runner, Tales From the Loop, Tales of the Old West, and Invincible: Superhero Roleplaying, so if a corner of Free League or the Year Zero Engine has caught your attention, there is a good chance we can make it happen. My tables are beginner-friendly and LGBTQ+ friendly, full stop. If you have never touched a Year Zero Engine game — or any tabletop roleplaying game — I will help you get comfortable before we roll. If you already know the systems, you will feel right at home. My Information Technology background helps keep Foundry VTT and Discord organized and accessible, and when tech hiccups happen, we sort them out together. With fifteen years of tabletop experience across science fiction, fantasy, horror, western, superhero, and post-apocalyptic games — and several years of dedicated online GMing since returning in 2022 — I know how to keep scenes moving, help new players feel capable, and give veteran players room to be surprised. What I am after is a table where your choices shape the world, the atmosphere pulls you in, and you leave with a story worth retelling. The best thing I hear after a session is not “great GM” — it is players recounting what we built together, like they can hardly believe it happened. If that sounds like your kind of game, let’s play.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We’ll hold a Session Zero for character creation one hour before game start on Foundry VTT (solo or group), with discussion via my Discord server to go over character ideas, rules, and expectations. Players can also create characters beforehand and import them, or schedule time with me to finalize details. Pre-generated characters are available, and backups are recommended due to the game’s lethality. Late joiners will be supported with character creation, but if setup isn’t completed by session start, a pre-gen or temporary NPC will be used. Please sign up at least 24 hours in advance to ensure everything’s ready.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
◆ To play, you'll need a computer (not a phone/tablet) capable of running Foundry VTT, a free Discord account, headphones, a decent mic (headset mics are okay but standalone mics are preferred), a stable internet connection (1mbps+), and a quiet environment. ◆ A webcam is optional but highly recommended. ◆ A good attitude, respect for others, and focus are essential. Join my Discord server after booking, prepare your mic and space, and if you're new, feel free to review the Foundry tutorial [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0jfRtmuwxU ] and the YZE rules [ https://freeleaguepublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/YZE-Standard-Reference-Document.pdf ]. Join my Discord server, FreeVerse Studio: https://discord.gg/Y3cRVPRZSd I’m happy to assist new or returning players with rules and setup!

How FatherJ creates a safe table
My GM style is collaborative, player-focused, and rooted in creating an inclusive, respectful environment where everyone feels heard and safe. I run sandbox/open-world games with strong story foundations and meaningful player agency, using tools like FoundryVTT, maps, music, and soundscapes to enhance immersion. I balance the three pillars—roleplay (priority), combat, and exploration—based on player preference and session flow. I aim to be a storyteller, impartial arbiter, and facilitator, favoring creativity, character development, and the "rule of cool" over rigid rules. I encourage deep PC interaction and growth, strive to make the world reactive and alive, and consistently check in through tools like Stars and Wishes to ensure an enjoyable, evolving experience.
